having only three "choices" for cell phones isn't good, i don't know why fcc would allow this when they nixed the att buying of tmobile ? I am for one am not thrilled with this.
@azguy13 wrote:To only have 3 major cell phone carriers is criminal. Yes, there is the super small companies like cricket and tracphone, but it is not going to work. Just look at what has happened in the auto industry lately. The department of justice just hammered a couple of auto makers due to colusion to drive up prices. This is not good for us, not at all.
I should just buy 2 paper cups and a whole lot of string.
its an monopoly no way around it , VZW and ATT can just do whatever they want they could jack prices up by 100 dollars and there isnt a think you can do about it. Thats without taking into account that ATT and verizon have congress in their back pocket

I am kind of lucky that i am on a really old att plan , it must be from the 90s , they don't offer it anymore
I'm unhappy with this country in general right now. It's obvious the pendulum is currently on the down-swing, and things are going to get much worse before they get better.
Corporate over-reach and government incompetance aside, how would a merger between the two companies even work as far as services? Sprint is a CDMA network while T-Mobile is a GSM network. It's not like you can just plug the two networks into each other (as far as I know).
Or will the connection only exist on the business side of things?

I am also lucky in that I am grandfathered into a plan I don't think Verizon offers anymore. Add a line for $9.99 a month. (Plus $30 for smartphone data package)

Mine is similar but for my mom's iphone i put min data like 200 mb and its only 15 an month. I have so many rollover minutes in the thousands so the 200 min voice plan is enuf for both of us :-)
